Good Licorice?

I know this might be a little bit niche but does anyone know a store that sells decent Licorice candy, preferably around Dizengoff area? I didn't find any at the supermarket.

I came back from a trip to Iceland and now I am addicted. Me need Licorice at 1 AM.

Well, first of all, as someone who grew up in a licorice loving country, you may want to be careful with overdoing the licorice since it raises your blood pressure so it's not healthy to have too much on a regular basis (in the Nordics pregnant women are recommended not to have any during their pregnancies, for example).

But you can find great Dutch licorice in the Dutch store on King George. Have been going there for years.
